Since my real job is a paint coatings engineer with 30+ years experience, it should be noted that color fast inks were used during color processes of most baseball cards that have colorization... specifically if it was done at the Play Ball printing processing center. If watercolor or gouache was used after the fact, the color would run, since acrylics were not invented at this time, a simple test would be to wet the card and if the inks do not run, then it is most likely this is a factory test issue and quite impressive..hope this helps..
